Life Day 2181: Dog Day Afternoon

This month the MMM had shots due. Despite the heat (about 100 degrees), I took them to PetSmart on Thursday the 18th to take advantage of their Shot Clinic (hey folks, it only going to get hotter here, so there's no sense putting it off). There is no charge for the office visit. I like that part, it saves me over $50.00. They offer one every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday from 2:00 PM until 4:00 PM. Each MMM had 3 shots due this time, plus a replenishment of their Heartworm medicine. I'm glad I finally got their shot schedues in sync. It's much more convenient. Wolfie needed a follow-up visit for his ear infection as well. They were well behaved for the most part, but Wolfie was his usual "vocal" self. We were in and out of there in a little over an hour, including the "shopping trip" in the store. It took almost as long to drive there and back in all the traffic as it did to get their shots. Wolfie's ear is just fine now. All in all, it was a pleasant outing. Walter enjoys riding in the car for some reason. Their next group of shots is due in August. Happy, happy, joy, joy. It'll be even hotter then.
Despite the above mentioned $50.00 savings, this visit cost me about $220.00 including a 20# bag of dog food and "treats", the selection of which were personally supervised by the MMM. The 6 month supply of heartworm medicine is largly responsible for the rather high total.
